Hi, Many auctions on Ebay only ships within US. Im overseas. I need a partner that live in the US, that can bid for me on ebay, then resend to me. I'll pay for the item+shipping to you, then shipping to me. I will reinburse you 5% of the item cost for the trouble. (So If I buy a lotus for 1000$, you get 50$ for the trouble). I will use paypal, but cover the paypal fees. I may up the %, I never done this before so I dont know how much is needed to make it worth your while. But most important is to get one I can trust and do many deals with. Let me know here or on: Joachims4@hotmail.com -Regards __________________

Well, you can make purchases off Ebay and use my home address if you like. I live very close to a post office so it would be no trouble to me. All I'd ask is for reimbursement on postage, you don't need to pay me the 5% as I go to the post office frequently. It's not a problem for me at all. I also do 3rd party trades for free.

The biggest problem is getting sellers to ship to the US address when you will show as a foreigner.

Well...it's not like I don't have a Ebay account. I can also purchase the item you want for you. As long as you pay me back. I'll take free Ebay references in place of the 5%

It's not THAT hard. I already do this for several members and they've not had a problem, as long as they were using my address. All I do is receive the cards and let them know they've arrived (and ship them out when there's a good amount of them) Thanks,

He doesn't mean here, he means Ebay, where the rules are pretty tight about shipping to the address of record and all. It's far easier to have the person in the US make the purchases than to try and work something out with the seller about sending to the US for someone listed as being in another country. __________________

I can help do this if you need. Although daner's offer is better than mine since I would probably be charging the 5% on top of the shipping costs if this is going to be a long-term, ongoing thing.

... I meant Ebay as well. I receive cards for members that have purchased them on Ebay with their own Paypal accounts and used my address. Thanks,

its just less likely that someone would do this because of the seller protection policies. You are required to ship to the address on record if you want to be protected. Even though I understand situations such as this may come up, I wouldn't ship to anything but whats listed just to try and cover myself a bit. I guess its not something that should effect me because I sell internationally on both MOTL and ebay, but from a seller standpoint I can see where the issue comes in. While its a little more complicated to implement, having the person who is receiving the cards also win and pay for the item is the simplest solution on ebay.

I believe you can add an address and make it the "address of record" to send items to from eBay purchases. I know I sold to someone that was based--I think--in Russia (it was certainly non-U.S.) who used a U.S. address to send items to. That U.S. address was the address in record for the shipping label--and thus seller protection attached--even though the buyer was technically from Russia. I happened to recognize the name and address because it was someone I had bought/sold cards to on one of these sites, yet the buyer that contacted me via eBay messages was someone else (not the same person listed as the address).
